The Chief of MainOperations Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Colonel-General Sergei Rudskoy said that the engineers of the International Antimine Action Center of the Armed Forces of Russia completed the demining of residential areas of the Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor. The training of engineers among the Syrian military is in process.
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Pavel Klimkin, noted the massive outflow of the Hungarian national minority from the Transcarpathian region. The Hungarian authorities, in turn, drew the attention of the OSCE to the difficult conditions of 150,000 Hungarians in the Ukrainian Transcarpathian region, where anti-Hungarian demonstrations took place. As confirmed by Klimkin, at these rallies "there were desecrations of national symbols and anti-Hungarian slogans were chanted".
According to the decree signed by Prime Minister Medvedev, next year Russia will reduce the use of foreign labor by 20%. According to the Ministry of Labor, the reduction of quotas for foreign labor should also reduce competition in the labor market and help the Russians obtain the desired job.
Today in New York the UN Security Council will discuss the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel by US PresidentDonaldTramp. Among the initiators of the emergency meeting are the permanent members of the Security Council: the UK and France. The decision of the American leader caused a storm of protests not only in the Middle East, but throughout the world. The representatives of countries as far from Israel as Indonesia, Australia, Bolivia or China made a condemnation of Trump's actions.
The United States is seeking a diplomatic settlement of the issue of Russia's breach of treaty provisions, but the United States is also exploring possible military solutions to the development of a system of medium-range land-based missiles, "Mr. Shannon said. Let’s recall that Lavrov has repeatedly underscored that Russia complied with the provisions of this treaty.
Mass rallies are held against the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel throughout Turkey. Protests are held in Ankara, Bursa, Konya, Manisa, Urfa, Istanbul, Eskişehir and other cities. On Friday, more than a thousand people gathered near the US Consulate General in Istanbul. Enhanced security measures have been adopted in Consulate. Protesters have banners with slogans: "the Turkish youth supports the Palestinians" and "Jerusalem is a sacred place for Muslims". The police do not hinder the demonstrators, but only ensures the protection of order.

DNA sheds light on settlement of PacificA study of ancient DNA has shed light on the epic journeys that led to the settlement of the Pacific by humans.The region was one of the last on Earth to be permanently settled by humans who used canoes to traverse hundreds of miles of open ocean.Two different studies tracked changes over time in the genetic make-up of people inhabiting Vanuatu - regarded as a gateway to the rest of the Pacific.The work appears in NatureEcology & Evolution and Current Biology.ProfDavid Reich, from Harvard Medical School, said the region had a "tremendous" range of human diversity, adding that Vanuatu itself had an "extraordinary diversity of languages" in a relatively small area. The number of languages spoken in the tiny island state is thought to number more than 130, though several are endangered with just a small number of speakers.Prof Reich, who is lead author of the study in Current Biology, added that Vanuatu was a "gateway to the remote Pacific islands... through that region of Vanuatu and neighbouring islands, people spread all over the Pacific". The first people to arrive in the islands belonged to the Lapita culture, who expanded out of Taiwan between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago, reaching Vanuatu about 3,000 years ago. "They were really talented seafaring people," said Dr Cosimo Posth, from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, Germany. Dr Posth was co-author of the study in Nature Ecology & Evolution.Their secret was the specialised outrigger canoe, which is characterised by the addition of lateral support floats which stabilise the main hull. This innovation, says Dr Posth, "allowed them to cover immense distances of the ocean".The Lapita voyages represent the most extensive dispersal of agricultural people in history. They carried farming technology and languages belonging to the Austronesian family as far west as Madagascar and as far east as Rapa Nui (Easter Island). But modern people in the wider region have varying amounts of ancestry from "Papuan" populations like those that live today on New Guinea, and other islands in the Bismarck Archipelago such as the Solomons, New Britain and New Ireland.However, when exactly this ancestry spread across the region has been hotly debated. One idea was that the Lapita mixed with people speaking Papuan languages early in their voyages, spreading both types of ancestry throughout the region. Alternatively, it could be explained by more recent seafaring expansions by people from the Bismarck Archipelago.DNA from burials on Vanuatu dating from between 2,900 and 150 years ago show that the first Lapita people were genetically similar to present-day populations such as the Ami who live in Taiwan."The first people of these remote pacific islands had none of the Papuan ancestry from the New Guinea region that is ubiquitous today and everyone has about 25% of it," said Prof Reich.That means that ancestry from the south must have arrived in the
Two genetic studies shed light on the epic journeys that led to the settlement of the vast Pacific region by humans.

Bitcoin and blockchains: The future of money explained with ancient stones on the tiny Pacific island of Yap.
Ethereum, Bitcoin and other blockchains are being called the future of money. This decentralized, digital money aims to replace physical cash and middlemen like VISA or your bank.
But is this really such a new idea? We travelled to the remote Pacific island of Yap, where an ancient form of stone money has more in common with the future than you'd think.

-A TinyPacific IslandFacesClimate ChangeThe people of the low-lying atoll Ifalik, one of the islands of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), are facing serious threats due to the increasing effects of global warming. A king tide that struck last year is still causing damage to this years crops of the islanders staple food, taro.

Micronesia

Micronesia (from Greek:μικρός, mikrós, "small" + Greek:νῆσος, nisos, "island") is a subregion of Oceania, comprising thousands of small islands in the western Pacific Ocean. It has a shared cultural history with two other island regions, Polynesia to the east and Melanesia to the south.

Micronesia began to be settled several millennia ago, although there are competing theories about the origin and arrival of the first settlers. The earliest known contact with Europeans occurred in 1521, when Ferdinand Magellan reached the Marianas. The coinage of the term "Micronesia" is usually attributed to Jules Dumont d'Urville's usage in 1832, however Domeny de Rienzi had used the term a year previously.

During the Second World War, American fighter aircraft relentlessly bombed Japan's naval stronghold sheltering in a lagoon in ChuukIsland. Almost all sank in this idyllic haven and it became a graveyard of ships, many laden with crude oil. Now the rusting and deteriorating hulks are due to finally crumble, releasing hundreds of tons of oil into this pristine environment. For the locals, whose livelihoods depend on the lagoon for food and tourism, the consequences of a major oil release would be devastating. Corrosion expert Ian McLeod insists that this disaster could "be worse than the recent Gulf of Mexico oil spill". In a place where time has loped along at a very leisurely pace, there's now a growing sense of urgency: "I think it will kill most of everything", says dive master Gradvin Aisek.

The Chief of MainOperations Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Colonel-General Sergei Rudskoy said that the engineers of the International Antimine Action Center of the Armed Forces of Russia completed the demining of residential areas of the Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor. The training of engineers among the Syrian military is in process.
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Pavel Klimkin, noted the massive outflow of the Hungarian national minority from the Transcarpathian region. The Hungarian authorities, in turn, drew the attention of the OSCE to the difficult conditions of 150,000 Hungarians in the Ukrainian Transcarpathian region, where anti-Hungarian demonstrations took place. As confirmed by Klimkin, at these rallies "there were desecrations of national symbols and anti-Hungarian slogans were chanted".
According to the decree signed by Prime Minister Medvedev, next year Russia will reduce the use of foreign labor by 20%. According to the Ministry of Labor, the reduction of quotas for foreign labor should also reduce competition in the labor market and help the Russians obtain the desired job.
Today in New York the UN Security Council will discuss the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel by US PresidentDonaldTramp. Among the initiators of the emergency meeting are the permanent members of the Security Council: the UK and France. The decision of the American leader caused a storm of protests not only in the Middle East, but throughout the world. The representatives of countries as far from Israel as Indonesia, Australia, Bolivia or China made a condemnation of Trump's actions.
The United States is seeking a diplomatic settlement of the issue of Russia's breach of treaty provisions, but the United States is also exploring possible military solutions to the development of a system of medium-range land-based missiles, "Mr. Shannon said. Let’s recall that Lavrov has repeatedly underscored that Russia complied with the provisions of this treaty.
Mass rallies are held against the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel throughout Turkey. Protests are held in Ankara, Bursa, Konya, Manisa, Urfa, Istanbul, Eskişehir and other cities. On Friday, more than a thousand people gathered near the US Consulate General in Istanbul. Enhanced security measures have been adopted in Consulate. Protesters have banners with slogans: "the Turkish youth supports the Palestinians" and "Jerusalem is a sacred place for Muslims". The police do not hinder the demonstrators, but only ensures the protection of order.

DNA sheds light on settlement of PacificA study of ancient DNA has shed light on the epic journeys that led to the settlement of the Pacific by humans.The region was one of the last on Earth to be permanently settled by humans who used canoes to traverse hundreds of miles of open ocean.Two different studies tracked changes over time in the genetic make-up of people inhabiting Vanuatu - regarded as a gateway to the rest of the Pacific.The work appears in NatureEcology & Evolution and Current Biology.ProfDavid Reich, from Harvard Medical School, said the region had a "tremendous" range of human diversity, adding that Vanuatu itself had an "extraordinary diversity of languages" in a relatively small area. The number of languages spoken in the tiny island state is thought to number more than 130, though several are endangered with just a small number of speakers.Prof Reich, who is lead author of the study in Current Biology, added that Vanuatu was a "gateway to the remote Pacific islands... through that region of Vanuatu and neighbouring islands, people spread all over the Pacific". The first people to arrive in the islands belonged to the Lapita culture, who expanded out of Taiwan between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago, reaching Vanuatu about 3,000 years ago. "They were really talented seafaring people," said Dr Cosimo Posth, from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, Germany. Dr Posth was co-author of the study in Nature Ecology & Evolution.Their secret was the specialised outrigger canoe, which is characterised by the addition of lateral support floats which stabilise the main hull. This innovation, says Dr Posth, "allowed them to cover immense distances of the ocean".The Lapita voyages represent the most extensive dispersal of agricultural people in history. They carried farming technology and languages belonging to the Austronesian family as far west as Madagascar and as far east as Rapa Nui (Easter Island). But modern people in the wider region have varying amounts of ancestry from "Papuan" populations like those that live today on New Guinea, and other islands in the Bismarck Archipelago such as the Solomons, New Britain and New Ireland.However, when exactly this ancestry spread across the region has been hotly debated. One idea was that the Lapita mixed with people speaking Papuan languages early in their voyages, spreading both types of ancestry throughout the region. Alternatively, it could be explained by more recent seafaring expansions by people from the Bismarck Archipelago.DNA from burials on Vanuatu dating from between 2,900 and 150 years ago show that the first Lapita people were genetically similar to present-day populations such as the Ami who live in Taiwan."The first people of these remote pacific islands had none of the Papuan ancestry from the New Guinea region that is ubiquitous today and everyone has about 25% of it," said Prof Reich.That means that ancestry from the south must have arrived in the

Bitcoin and blockchains: The future of money explained with ancient stones on the tiny Pacific island of Yap.
Ethereum, Bitcoin and other blockchains are being called the future of money. This decentralized, digital money aims to replace physical cash and middlemen like VISA or your bank.
But is this really such a new idea? We travelled to the remote Pacific island of Yap, where an ancient form of stone money has more in common with the future than you'd think.

During the Second World War, American fighter aircraft relentlessly bombed Japan's naval stronghold sheltering in a lagoon in ChuukIsland. Almost all sank in this idyllic haven and it became a graveyard of ships, many laden with crude oil. Now the rusting and deteriorating hulks are due to finally crumble, releasing hundreds of tons of oil into this pristine environment. For the locals, whose livelihoods depend on the lagoon for food and tourism, the consequences of a major oil release would be devastating. Corrosion expert Ian McLeod insists that this disaster could "be worse than the recent Gulf of Mexico oil spill". In a place where time has loped along at a very leisurely pace, there's now a growing sense of urgency: "I think it will kill most of everything", says dive master Gradvin Aisek.

SOUTH PACIFIC: ISLAND OF MICRONESIA ECONOMIC REFORM SUMMIT

English/Nat
While French Polynesia is coping with the after effects of French nuclear testing, another corner of the Pacific is facing a different kind of fallout from its colonial past
The end of the Cold War has left the Federated States of Micronesia facing a drastic reduction in its economic base as the U-S ends decades of budget support -- part of a deal which has allowed the U-S military access to the region.
In response, Micronesia is holding the largest summit in its history in an attempt to face the coming crunch head on.
This is the island paradise of Micronesia -- a federation of 607 Pacific islands scattered across one thousand miles, home to about 100,000 people.

While French Polynesia is coping with the after effects of French nuclear testing, another corner of the Pacific is facing a different kind of fallout from its colonial past
The end of the Cold War has left the Federated States of Micronesia facing a drastic reduction in its economic base as the U-S ends decades of budget support -- part of a deal which has allowed the U-S military access to the region.
In response, Micronesia is holding the largest summit in its history in an attempt to face the coming crunch head on.
This is the island paradise of Micronesia -- a federation of 607 Pacific islands scattered across one thousand miles, home to about 100,000 people.
The name means "little islands". It's a classic tropical paradise: sun, palm trees and the ocean lapping the shore.
But some classic third world problems exist here too, as the local islanders appear adrift in a changing world.
In Micronesia, which has been a trust territory of the U-S for more than 40 years, the effect of U-S dollars has taken a toll.
After the Second World War, the U-S was given a mandate to administer the islands as a trust territory, giving them authority to set up military facilities.
Such was the extent of the US military presence that until the early 1960s civilians required a security clearance to travel here.
The islands gained independence in 1979. In 1986 the U-S agreed to provide more than a billion U-S dollars over 15 years for continued access.
But the money has created an artificial economy, based on imported goods. The U-S dollar is Micronesia's official currency.
Since funds flow directly to the government, the public sector accounts for 80 per cent of the gross national product.
Despite huge public sector investment, there's been little to show save no economic growth. This once self-sufficient country of farmers and fishermen is now dependent on imports.
But it's questionable as to whether the U-S will extend the agreement, known as the Compact, now that the Cold War is over.
Funds are already being cut back and analysts say by the year 2001, funding may dry up altogether.
SOUNDBITE:
"Naturally we have created a dependency because over a 15-year period we will be giving the F-S-M 1.2 billion dollars. So naturally there will be a dependency created, by this country expecting this much money to operate. But I think we have to look at it this way: it's a mutual dependency. They depend on our money, our help, our technical assistance, but we depend on them to use this money to become a truly independent nation."
SUPERCAPTION: March Fong Eu, U-S Ambassador
There is hope here. Ever since the country achieved independence, determined government policy-makers have been preparing for the difficult transition.
Evidence of the gravity of their concern: the largest ever Summit is being held. The subject: economic reform.
The country's president, Bailey Olter, is an active participant.
The U-S ambassador to Micronesia is attending, as well as elected officials, businessmen and traditional leaders from across the archipelago.
Asterio Takesy has been with his government since independence and is currently the country's Secretary of External Affairs.
He says the massive economic exercise is a way of looking forward.
SOUNDBITE:
"This is a national self-examination of our economic policies, of our performance economically as we are nearly halfway through the Compact. And it is not an examination anticipating the end of the Compact, rather including the end of the Compact. Life
beyond the Compact."
SUPER CAPTION: Asterio Takesy, Secretary of External Affairs, Micronesia

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
00:00
Hi I'm Pabsy Pabalan here at the World Bank headquarters in Washington DC. Are you familiar with the term trade-offs? For instance I have a holiday budget, so should I buy expensive gifts for a few people? Or should I buy more affordable items so I could include more relatives and friends? That's a trade-off.
00:19
Countries and governments have to make the same choices too, but of course it's a bit more complicated. I'm meeting with David Gould to discuss a new flagship report on the financial development of the emerging Europe and Central Asia. Right here.
00:33
The title of the report is "Risks and Returns in Emerging Europe and Central Asia." Why is that?
00:41
Well, we titled it "Risks and Returns" because rarely is there a free ride when it comes to financial sector development. We divide financial development into four parts as you mentioned.
00:50
Stability which would include the lack of banking crisis obviously but also the volatility and credit and deposits in a country.
00:59
Efficiency, how efficient the banking and capital markets are in transferring savings into actual investment. Depth which would include bank as well as non-bank assets and the size of the financial sector as a whole.
01:13
And inclusion, how firms and individuals participate in the financial
sector.
01:22
Stability and inclusion are particularly important because inclusion is one of the most key and critical factors for influencing growth of the bottom 40%. But having too much inclusion might actually decrease stability as we saw during the US subprime, crisis we have a lot of mortgages you get instability.
01:42
Also in Europe with the foreign denominated mortgages, a lot of those mortgages went belly-up when the Swiss franc appreciated. So inclusion is really important but you have to balance that out with stability as well.
01:54
Can other countries use this tool kit and how?
01:57
When a country looks at these four different aspects of financial sector development they want to map out where they are on stability where they are on inclusion so they might be right here on inclusion, they might be relatively high on depth, maybe somewhere in the middle on efficiency and they can see exactly how they rate, relative to a benchmark. And we have a benchmark of the top countries and it may be that this country is relatively good on stability perhaps they're some what moderate on depth.
02:36
That can pair the benchmark relatively in line with efficiency, maybe a little bit underneath what the benchmark would say. And they can say okay what we want to do is we want to improve efficiency we want to get to the benchmark or the best performers in that regard but we need to maybe focus most on inclusion. And that by looking at where they are looking how each of these aspects influence growth they can come up with a strategy for financial sector development. And in that way they can improve their growth bottom 40 as well as overall growth.

Kava Kava Root Review - Uses, Side Effects & Health Benefits

Kava Root Uses, Side Effects and Health Benefits
Today I going show you the uses of Kava kava Root, it Side Effects and Health Benefits
Historically the kava plant has been grown in Hawaii, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, the Samoas, and Tonga. It specifically is grown for cash in Fiji.
The kava plant is a shrub that thrives in shaded, well-drained, loose soils. It grows naturally where rainfall is plentiful. The plant grows best between 20 and 35 degrees Celsius and between 70 and 100 percent humidity.
Kava is a shrub of the pepper family that grows to a height of 3 meters. This hardy perennial plant has heart-shaped, bright green leaves, which are around 15 to 20 centimeters long. The plant does produce small flower spikes that are sterile. The roots in mature plants may reach as d...

Manta Ray Bay Resort and Taro Leaf Spa - Yap Micronesia

What are Micronesians?

Just a little video I put together from clips i could find on Youtube. It's time for these Micronesians who say "ProudIslander" to start saying "Proud Micronesian", no matter if you're from the Marianas, the Carolines, Kiribati, the Marshall islands, anywhere in Micronesia. Open your eyes, we have a beautiful culture. No shame.

The fattest place on earth isn't in America.
The tiny Pacific island nation of Nauru holds that honor. At only 8.1 sq. miles, with a population of less than 10,000, the country's inhabitants have virtually become giants.
Ninety-five percent of the island's adult population is overweight, and 85 percent of the male adult population is obese, according to ABC News.
However, island natives haven't always been this fat. According to ABC, it wasn't until they began importing Western food that the population's size exploded. Now half of Nauruans suffer from Type II diabetes.

MICRONESIA: MASSAGE: A TRADITIONAL FORM OF HEALING

English/Nat
In Asia and the Pacific, the mention of the words massage parlor brings to mind images of the region's rampant sex industry and the problems associated with it.
But in the tiny Pacific nation of Micronesia, massage is a traditional form of healing.
Efforts are now being made to revive the ancient art of massage and blend Western and traditional healing.
This man's broken foot is being treated in a Western-style medical clinic in Micronesia.
This woman's weight and stress problems are being treated in a massage parlour.
There's nothing risque about this massage - locals and tourists alike come here to be rejuvenated by the healing power of these hands.
And while broken bones may require the attention of a Western hospital, many other health problems can be treated without Western drugs, using traditional methods.
Up until recently, however, some of these traditional forms were dying out.
Margaret Iriarte is the wife of a traditional leader of Pohnpei, one of the 600 islands which make up the Federated States of Micronesia.
She was taught the art of massage by her Samoan father.
Although he was well versed in traditional healing, he also had a Western medical degree.
He lived most of his life here, running a Western-style medical clinic until his death in 1988.
Western medicine, in fact, has taken hold here.
Micronesia has been a trust territory of the U-S for decades and Western drugs are readily available.
Islanders have access to Western-style hospitals and medical facilities and many have forsaken their tradition for Western medicine.
But three months ago, Iriarte reopened her father's old clinic.
This time around, its focus is on traditional healing and herbal cures.
She is convinced that massage has broad healing powers.
SOUNDBITE:
"It cures all kinds of sickness. All the illness we have is caused by the feelings that our body gives out, depression, anger. It releases excess acid that our body needs to get rid of which sometimes can not because of the weakness of the circulation."
SUPERCAPTION: Margaret Iriarte, Traditional massage expert
The Australian embassy in Micronesia is supporting Iriarte's efforts to make sure the tradition of massage and herbal medicine does not die out.
It's provided a small grant as part of its efforts to promote small business development.
SOUNDBITE:
"We only have a very small aid programme and we only give out small amounts at a time but because we can target it to the grassroots level we get a very good success rate which makes us very happy and makes the recipients very happy."
SUPER CAPTION: Fiona Bricknell, Development Assistance Officer, Australian embassy
It's not just locals who are rediscovering massage.
Tourists are finding their way to this tiny clinic located "behind the giant mango tree".
And while traditional medicine and massage will not replace Western medicine, it looks as if healing - the old fashioned way - may be back in fashion.

The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is a grouping of 607 small islands in the Western Pacific about 2,500 miles southwest of Hawaii, lying just above the Equator. Generally speaking, the FSM comprises what is known as the Western and Eastern Caroline Islands.
While the country's total land area amounts to only 270.8 square miles, it occupies more than one million square miles of the Pacific Ocean, and ranges 1,700 miles from West (Yap) to East (Kosrae) . Each of the four States centers around one or more "high islands," and all but Kosrae include numerous atolls.
Yap State is made up of 4 large islands, 7 small islands and 134 atolls, with a total land area of 45.6 square miles. Chuuk State has a total land area of 49.2 square miles and includes seven major island groups. Pohnpei State has 133.4 square miles of land area, of which 130 is accounted for by Pohnpei island, the largest in FSM. Kosrae is essentially one high island of 42.3 square miles.
The islands of the FSM are the result of volcanic activity millions of years ago resulting in islands and atolls of incredible variety. Some are tips of mountain peaks thrust above the surface and now surrounded by fringing reefs. Others are atolls -- islands that have sunk beneath the surface, leaving a ring of coral barrier reef and tiny island islets encircling a coral and sand lagoon. And, still others, are mixtures of atolls and high rigged islands within a lagoon.
The FSM enjoys a tropical climate, with relatively even, warm temperatures throughout the year.
The climate in the FSM averages 80° F year round, with highs in the high 80s and lows in the high 70s. Rainfall is heaviest during the summer months. The rainfall on each island varies, however, so check with the local visitor authority for anticipated dry and wet seasons. Trade winds come mainly from the northeast from December through June. Light tropical clothing is the norm year 'round in the FSM.
The people of the FSM are classified as Micronesians, although some inhabitants of Pohnpei State are of Polynesian origin. They are actually a heterogeneous mixture with different customs and traditions bound together by recent history and common aspiration.
The cultural diversity is typified by the existence of eight major indigenous languages, although English remains the official language of commerce. The cultural similarities are indicated by the importance of traditional extended family and clan systems found on each island.
The people of the FSM are culturally and linguistically Micronesian, with a small number of Polynesians living primarily on Nukuoro and Kapingamarangi atolls of Pohnpei State. The influence of European and Japanese contacts is also seen.
It can be said that each of the four States exhibits its own distinct culture and tradition, but there are also common cultural and economic bonds that are centuries old. For example, cultural similarities are evidenced in the importance of the traditional extended family and clan systems found on each island.

The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is a grouping of 607 small islands in the Western Pacific about 2,500 miles southwest of Hawaii, lying just above the Equator. Generally speaking, the FSM comprises what is known as the Western and Eastern Caroline Islands.
While the country's total land area amounts to only 270.8 square miles, it occupies more than one million square miles of the Pacific Ocean, and ranges 1,700 miles from West (Yap) to East (Kosrae) . Each of the four States centers around one or more "high islands," and all but Kosrae include numerous atolls.
Yap State is made up of 4 large islands, 7 small islands and 134 atolls, with a total land area of 45.6 square miles. Chuuk State has a total land area of 49.2 square miles and includes seven major island groups. Pohnpei State has 133.4 square miles of land area, of which 130 is accounted for by Pohnpei island, the largest in FSM. Kosrae is essentially one high island of 42.3 square miles.
The islands of the FSM are the result of volcanic activity millions of years ago resulting in islands and atolls of incredible variety. Some are tips of mountain peaks thrust above the surface and now surrounded by fringing reefs. Others are atolls -- islands that have sunk beneath the surface, leaving a ring of coral barrier reef and tiny island islets encircling a coral and sand lagoon. And, still others, are mixtures of atolls and high rigged islands within a lagoon.
The FSM enjoys a tropical climate, with relatively even, warm temperatures throughout the year.
The climate in the FSM averages 80° F year round, with highs in the high 80s and lows in the high 70s. Rainfall is heaviest during the summer months. The rainfall on each island varies, however, so check with the local visitor authority for anticipated dry and wet seasons. Trade winds come mainly from the northeast from December through June. Light tropical clothing is the norm year 'round in the FSM.
The people of the FSM are classified as Micronesians, although some inhabitants of Pohnpei State are of Polynesian origin. They are actually a heterogeneous mixture with different customs and traditions bound together by recent history and common aspiration.
The cultural diversity is typified by the existence of eight major indigenous languages, although English remains the official language of commerce. The cultural similarities are indicated by the importance of traditional extended family and clan systems found on each island.
The people of the FSM are culturally and linguistically Micronesian, with a small number of Polynesians living primarily on Nukuoro and Kapingamarangi atolls of Pohnpei State. The influence of European and Japanese contacts is also seen.
It can be said that each of the four States exhibits its own distinct culture and tradition, but there are also common cultural and economic bonds that are centuries old. For example, cultural similarities are evidenced in the importance of the traditional extended family and clan systems found on each island.

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Micronesia.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) are Kosrae, Pohnpei, Chuuk (formerly Truk) and Yap, stretching over a vast expanse of Pacific Ocean just north of the equator. Together, the states comprise around 607 islands (a combined land area of approximately 702 km2 that cover a longitudinal distance of almost 2,700 km just north of the equator.
2. During World War II, Chuuk Lagoon was the Empire of Japan's main base in the South Pacific theatre. In 1944 it was destroyed by US bombers, in an attack that lasted 3 days, sinking 12 warships and 32 merchant ships. The consequences of the attack made Chuuk lagoon the biggest graveyard of ships in the world.
3. No visit in Yap is complete until you have a chance to see the StoneMoneyBanks located throughout the island. Massive pieces of Stone Money line a stone pathway in the villages displaying the wealth of the village. Here, size does matter as each piece has a value based on where it came from and how it was made.
4. Every year since 1952, the United States Air force has carried out ‘Operation Christmas Drop’ to give gifts to the people of the remote Kapingamarangi Atoll. The gifts are donated by the people of Guam. As well as useful supplies like fishing nets and tools, the parcels also contain toys and school supplies for the children of Kapingamarangi. The boxes are dropped from a large cargo plane, on parachutes, and can weigh anything up to 180 kg each.
5. Nan Madol is an ancient ruined city built on man-made islets. It is a ceremonial compound, built on a network of man-made structures just offshore, on the eastern side of Pohnpei. It was a scene of human activity as early as the first or second century AD. By the 8th or 9th century, islet construction had started.
6. The Rumung people, living in the far north, are fearfully conservative. The island of Rumung has been forbidden to all foreigners since the 17th century. The absolute preservation of culture and tradition was paramount to the community of Rumung.
7. For such a small and isolated country, it had a lot of contacts with the western world. Since the 19th century, it was ruled by Spain, Germany, Japan and the US. Their former capital city, Kolonia, was built by the Spanish, but after independence the Micronesians built their own, new capital: Palikir.
